That darn Jimmy Kimmel. Now hes getting U.S. Olympic athletes to pull off hoaxes on the rest of us.

Inside Edition reports that a video shot by American luger Kate Hansen of a wolf prowling the halls outside of her Sochi bedroom was a prank.

Sandy Caligiore, a publicist for the United States Luge Association, tells Inside Edition that Kimmel created the hoax for his Late Night show. Hansen will Skype with Kimmel for the show that airs Thursday night, according to Caligiore.

Hansen posted a YouTube video of a furry, four-legged something walking around the hallway outside of her bedroom. She also tweeted the 17-second clip to her nearly 20,000 Twitter followers.

The video, which she titled Epic #SochiFail: Wolf in my hall, kicked off lots of now-useless debate about what she actually saw.

It's a dog. either a husky or a malamute. i think husky, writes one YouTube user.
